To be safe and positive online, remember a few things. Protect your personal info, use strong passwords, and set your privacy settings right on social media. Think before you post – don’t share stuff that’s mean or not okay. Report any bad behavior you see. Check if information is true before believing or sharing it. Be respectful and kind to others, and support good things online. Don’t click on strange links or download weird files. Talk to your family about online safety.
In the end, being safe and positive online is not just about protecting yourself but also making the internet a better and happier place for everyone.
